February 17. 1M6. : Not lonp since an appeal was made by someone in the student opinien column te elect officers and .direc tors of all enterprises, club, activitV, etc., for next year. Let us Five em phasis to this suirF**tion and try H explain why this is a necessity rather than a mere conventionality which has been overlooked durtnjc the pa^t two or thr*e years. In the .majority of - cases the men selected have ha.I nq experience in the line of duty of v. htch the) must serve regardless of what this undertaking may he. Th-? Longhorn editor-in-chief and busi ness manager have been elected an- have practically completed their ar rangement 4 and contracts : for next years’ boot. If a man is elected to fill some position a good while before being in school he is lost getting a start on account pf conditions about him and also commercial conditions. Let him be thinking the proposition over during thd summer months so he can get lined up and be reaniv with the smarting of the school year rather thai having the game delay ed. Some organisations that should comply wr.h this appeal and request are; All county clubs and other wise. scientific societies, Ross Vol unteers. etc; An editor of The Bat talion Should be elected immediate ly as well as business manager. In general a!> offices should be filled which require time to get acquaint ed with the duties of same in order that the j school year of i 1920-21 might get a proper and right -tart. Think it ever and get behind the men who .ire responsible. The Jun ior Class should be having more meetings' concerning these- proh- lema. j | J .[ *•. 1 ' • The Sophomore edition of the Battalion exceeded the expectation*- of everyone besides those directly concerned, namely the Sophomore Claaa It was a success in the strictest sense and sbqwed the result of work and many worthy, attempts. It certainly covered their part of the Junior Banquet tjD'j perfection and should serve as a wonderful memoir of those trying times. The editorial and business' staffs are to be con gratulated. Thf editor of this edi tion has had a bit of experience as he compiled the P last year. The Freshman edition will come before you next week. Mayfield is \ Freshman issue of In the opinion of ten Horticultu ral students and as ; many young ladies of College and Bryan. Deafn and Mrs. E. J. Kyle are the greatest and most gracious entertainers of young people. Saturday momiag the group of pleasure seekers following plans worked out in advance by Dean Kylo boarded one of the big two-ton Col lege trucks and were driven by Captain Watkins to the Kyle plan tation on the Brasos River. The morning was spent in a search so and down the banks of the> river for a good camp site. When ttu* w.ts selected the cloth was spread and then covered Watf^-eats of the angehc variety, no club house sandwiches o;- peanut butter, hut roast pig, chick en, cakes, sherbet! and t accessory dishes. In the afternoon pairs be came exploration- parties, fishing and hunting parties and rambled* stroll ed. hunted and fished; and leaving sentimental and tempermental top ics for the imagination it; may he written that resulta'pf the after noon's recreation and work included frog legs for supper. , The great events of the trip, how ever. did not take place until the moonshine sifted its soothing heaais- through the leaves and turned the thoughts of the adventurers to classi cal things. Then the danqr began. It was in fhe plantation house, the visible harmony of the dancers com bined with the audible harmony of the Ethiopian Five Plantation Or chestra and made tfie surrounding woodlands ring . with the reverber ating rtraing never ceasing. But be fore this setting lout its distinguish-^ ing churacterist.es of the exception al the merrymakers retired to the river b*nk* and there in a clearing hound on the one aide by the trees hnd on the other by the threading stream of the river, the merriment began again and progressed under the light of the moon and on the carpet that mother nature provided for the tread of all Jier animalk. The sentiment thlt attached to this situation was appealing and it was late when the necessity for cessation became sa - acute as to be apparent. [ .1 | IJ But even that does not end this unusual story of the natural. Lt is no suitable ending for such a story to have the characters retire to a modern farm house for sleep- • The close to nature tondc was strong in their veins after this day of exciting adventure and the only, posaib’e thing to do was 1 ,to . sleep on the ground. Thanks to the cadets, they had come 1h full pack, so skelter tents were pitched and the dying music of the Darktown Quintet gave way to the whoo-whoo of the owl, -the croaking of the^rog”. usd squar ing of the •*chiggera,”ii Those who composed the outing party were: Misses Ava Reese.
